ARMY CRICKET

COMPETITION

-

Sappers Beat R‚Å.

By 7 Wickets

The second attempt to de- cide the Large Unit's Knock-out Cricket Competition took place on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (the first match having been declared a draw on account of rain) when the Royal Engineers defeated the Royal Artillery by seven wickets,

The Artillery batted first, and although they lost 5 wickets for 16 runs, managed to compile the useful total of 107, thanks to a hurricane innings by Gnr, Barsby, who hit six fours in his 44.
